Golf

Excellent golf exists in the Newry and Mourne Area.

These are mostly undulating parkland courses offering golfers interesting challenges with tight sloping fairways and valley and well maintained greens. Most clubs have practice areas, bar and restaurant facilities and in the summer months golf events such as the Carlingford Classic in Warrenpoint and the Kilkeel Golf Championship offer events that cater for individuals, teams and corporate teams.
